OECD Economic Surveys: Slovenia 2026

By: Oecd

The Slovenian economy has been resilient to multiple external shocks, including the evolving conflict in the Middle East. Growth is projected to strengthen as the effects of the negative energy price shock dissipate. The labour market remains tight, with labour shortages fuelling strong wage growth. Inflation has slowed but remains elevated, particularly in services. Fiscal deficits need to be reduced and expenditures reprioritised to address medium-term spending pressures. Policies to raise employment as well as growth-friendly tax reform would equip the economy for sustained improvements in living standards. Slovenia's highly open economy remains vulnerable to trade disruptions. Diversifying trade flows and further reducing effective trade costs would increase resilience to external shocks. Broadening AI adoption will support long-term growth. Tailored business support and systematically integrating AI skills in education and training will be essential to boost AI uptake in the workplace. Broadening the retail and institutional investor base, advancing privatisation, strengthening competition, and aligning regulations with European peers will help deepen capital markets, boosting private investment and growth.
